FAMARA Lion King»Watch at the source

With «Lion King», the Swiss reggae and world music veteran launches the third single from his upcoming EP «Tropic Tonic». It is a driving blend of world music, reggae, and pop, carried by warm grooves, an African spirit, and a hypnotically catchy chorus: "Lion King come in and bring – Lion King come in and sing."

Musically, «Lion King» is stripped down to the essentials: groove, energy, and positive vibes. It is a mantra that instantly sticks and bears FAMARA’s unmistakable signature—where African roots meet modern reggae-pop and cosmopolitan world music influences.

Following «Rockstar (Sweet Bonbon)» and «City of the Sun», «Lion King» reveals yet another facet of «Tropic Tonic»: poppier than ever, international, and colorful, yet 100% FAMARA. No musical boundaries, no pigeonholing—just plenty of sunshine, rhythm, and soul.

Since the 1990s, FAMARA (aka Thomas Nikles) has been a defining voice in the Swiss reggae scene. With over 500 concerts, appearances at festivals such as Rototom Sunsplash, Summerjam, OpenAir St. Gallen, and Chiemsee, and shared stages with acts like SEEED, Gentleman, and Ziggy Marley, he stands as one of Switzerland’s most experienced world-reggae artists.

«Lion King» will be released on September 25, 2026. The EP «Tropic Tonic» follows on October 9, 2026, across all major streaming and download platforms. The major EP release show will take place on October 10, 2026, at Atlantis Basel.
